I love how adding violence will help with your safety. You could be the first case ever.

Stating a sad truth.

MicroEmacs

In testing, to settle a bet by a rabid cult-of-vi peer, I opened a given set of files in each editor, each a day apart because I couldn’t be arsed to clear caches. This guy, otherwise a prince, was railing about emacs, but otherwise suffered days of waiting.

10/10 the memory usage by his precious vi was same-or-more than emacs.

There’s so many shared libs pulled in by the shell that all the fuddy doomsaying about bloat is now just noise.

I avoid vi because even in 1992 it was crusty and wrong-headed. 30 years on the hard-headed cult and the app haven’t changed.

I don’t see how microEmacs can improve on what we have by default, and I worry that the more niche the product is the harder it will be to find answers online. But I’m willing to be swayed if anyone can pitch its virtues.

vi versus emacs

You write “vi versus the world” funny.

The existing maintainers won’t live forever, having Rust in the Kernel is a bet on the future.

You’re drastically reducing your talent base by requiring membership in two groups of experts. Well done.

The comma splice gives it away, but you’re new at organizing groups and practicing set theory, aren’t you?

yum history undo last

There’s a colossal amount of work that goes into making that command usable and reliable, and I’m glad to say the yum-adjacent distros are still putting in the effort. That may change, but so far it’s been there to save my bacon when I need it.

Whoosh

ah-ha! Flat cap too, on a lark.

a […] infrastructure

The uncountable becomes countable.

We were looking at buying a 115-year-old house. It saw every world war, the smallpox epidemic, the great depression the epidemic caused, etc. While this is North America, this town is one of the oldest here.

… And yet, we isolate the president from the country as if the country did.

That’s. The. Point.

I think that’s half the appeal.

Some kids can only write on the walls.

And the last three aren’t even an option in the enterprise unless your CTO is 24.

My stepdad - generally an okay Rick Moranis type and a wizard at the penny stocks - had a quirk. We found out he specifically hated people sucking the sauce off their fingers after eating chicken wings; that kind of thing.

Oh God, we were relentless.

Bone apple tea!

Canada loves Eastern European fascists.

Okay, show me the receipts.

Breathe, son.

many phones with a headphone jack that have an IP68 rating which invalidates your whole point

Typing on one right now.

I’ve literally never used the headphone jack on a phone in 10 years

We understood that as soon as you said “literally”.

I’ve not used on*star, a fire extinguisher or a #2 pencil in a while either, but I bet they’re important. Beware false consensus.
